Yisrael Beytenu chief Avigdor Liberman is demanding the post of defense minister as his price for joining a coalition despite a paltry showing in elections, the NRG news site reports.

Liberman will choose representatives to negotiate with Likud as he flies abroad after the elections.

Yisrael Beytenu won only 6 seats in the elections. After the results were announced, Liberman spoke with Netanyahu, but refused to commit to supporting him for prime minister.
